RF3 Actions 2/6/23

Hello HOPEians,

Please find below the action items from the RF3 meeting on February 6, 2023. If you have any questions about the meeting or action items please reach out to Dr. Melanie Ott and Dr. Priti Kumar.

Updates:

Today we discussed the benefits of targeting CCR5 for mutagenesis and heard updates from the Kumar lab. The SAB suggested using a dual approach to help prevent future infections by targeting both the proviral genome and a host restriction factor. The caveat is that if only 30-40% of T cells have the CCR5 mutation, the viral rebound will undoubtedly occur prior to mutated cells taking over the cell milieu. Targeting efficiency has to be very high (perhaps >95%) and ideally be done in vivo; however, this is hard to achieve with nanoparticles. Up to a point, viral rebound is okay because you don’t change the size of the reservoir. There is an argument for going after the virus using something like laser ART in the most important tissue reservoirs where virus rebound can perhaps be staved off allowing time for repeated treatment with the gene editing approach. Laser ART is a nanoparticle-based ART approach that allows the slow release of ART at high concentrations in tissue reservoirs.

The Kumar lab is currently working on understanding the mutations induced by VLP-delivered CRISPR-base editors of HIV-1 provirus in Jurkat cells by sequencing the target. They are testing different guide RNAs and in the next couple of months hope to switch to mouse experiments. The lab is also adapting a base-editing approach for targeting CCR5 and CXCR4 for combination therapy.

Ott lab shared that Francisco transfects 30-40% TZMBL cells and then sorts cells with plasma DNA and not in Jurkats (TZM-bL cells are HELA cells with an integrated HIV-LTR luciferase reporter gene).

In the next RF3 meeting, we will hear from Fran and Ulrike about Brec1 delivery and what models they have used, and base editing

RF3 Actions 12/5/22

Hello HOPEians,

Please find below the action items from the RF3 meeting on December 5, 2022. If you have any questions about the meeting or action items please reach out to Dr. Melanie Ott and Dr. Priti Kumar. 

Updates:

Today we discussed the SAB report including its strengths and weaknesses. It was unclear how reticuloendothelial uptake of lipid nanoparticles will be minimized. Niren explains that they need high surface coverage, so they will target liposomes with nanobodies. They will use conjugation coding at the beginning stages, to combine Peg coding. 

Another weakness was some of the work on gene excision approaches has already received approval for clinical assessment and will be restricted to HIV-infected subjects who have cancer. HOPE might consider the “Last Gift” cohort of Davey Smith at UCSD. Melanie connected Jan Chemnitz with Davey after this meeting to start potential work with “Last Gift” patients for an 8-day clinical trial. 

We will continue our collaboration with Eric Verdin for rapamycin group experiments.

The Kumar lab is working on prime editing and improving gene editing efficiencies to target more T-cells.  Additional host gene editing will be done with CCTN1 (Cyclin T1) or CCR5.  Targeting CD4+ and CD7+ cells minimizes targeting of hematopoietic stem cells.  They will look at GFP expression in humanized mice for a longer duration. Viral titers were too highly concentrated and may have precipitated.  Additional AAV2, AAV6, and AAV2/AAV6 hybrid stocks are being prepared by Ulrike’s group and will be sent to Priti’s group for testing in primary cells. 

Another concern the SAB had was the lack of attention science is giving to global solutions for cure in terms of expense and accessibility. HOPE already works with two “Global South” sites in Brazil and Uganda.  These groups could be more integrated into the RF3 program. 

Methylation is protective and continuous demethylation may cause DNA damage.  However, highly methylated DNA will be more resistant to gene editing. Michael Corley shared an article: A modular dCas9-based recruitment platform for combinatorial epigenome editing

Other general lab updates are: Priti is talking to the editor of Nature about her newest publication. The Kumar Lab is working with Susana Valente and Victor Garcia on a mice study. Ulrike is producing AAV and sending another batch to the Kumar Lab. She is also working on JLAT cell lines and lentiviruses with Brec1 expression. Ulrike is working on a cell line wish list for non-T-cell lines with a single copy of LTR GFP. Francisco is also interested in a reporter cell line that can be transfected with high efficiency.

The next time we meet, Fran and Michael will go over two papers they introduced today.

RF3 Actions 10/27/22

Hello HOPEians,

Please find below the summary and action items from the RF3 meeting on October 27, 2022. If you have any questions about the meeting or action items please reach out to Dr. Melanie Ott and Dr. Priti Kumar. 

Updates:

Priti Kumar shared that her lab has started some spironolactone experiments with mice, in collaboration with the Valente lab about using pellets. In a couple of months, they will look at rebound for the silencing experiments. She has some CURE infection data with ART (only looking at nanoluciferase). 

Micahel Corely discussed that they are running new single-cell studies. They are flash-freezing tissues from mice using liquid nitrogen. He shared that the brain is the hardest to get sequencing from. Nuclei from the tissues can be isolated and it looks like it is working. 

Ulrike Lange started to test the nanobody CD4 and found transfection is successful in T cells.  Martin started experimenting with transfecting cell lines compared to primary cells and found less transfection in the primary cell system. They have been producing new batches of the nanobodies and the first batch of purified CD4-Nanobody AB6 is to be made and sent to Priti.  Priti mentioned that promoter selection will be key to determining efficacy in Rhesus macaques versus mice.  Ulrike’s group is preparing a summary of cell line models of HIV latency to test Brec1 suppression of HIV.  Ulrike will initiate MTA with Lish’s group for material transfer.  Michael proposed an experiment where GFP+/- JLAT cells were sorted prior to BREC1 transfection to test the recombinase efficacy in active and “latent” cells.  Ulrike’s group is preparing a summary of cell line models of HIV latency to test Brec1 suppression of HIV.  Ulrike will initiate MTA with Lish’s group for material transfer.  Michael proposed an experiment where GFP+/- JLAT cells were sorted prior to BREC1 transfection to test the recombinase efficacy in active and “latent” cells.

Niren Murthy updated on his LNP work.  He mentioned that negatively charged lipids can increase spleen localization.  Although this is known in non-humanized mice this effect is unknown in humanized mice.  In collaboration with the Wang lab at UC-Davis, they put IV injected neg-LNP/CRE mRNA into adult Ai9 mice (n=3).  30 minutes post-injection, spleen cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Transfection in mice with negatively charged lipids indicates CD3+ T cells are still transfected (7.9% & 8.3% of CD3+ T cells received and expressed the transgene). Lish asked about myeloid cell transfection.  CD11C+ cells did not receive/express the transgene.  Transfection of primary human T cells with aptamer targeting LNPs is being tested for gene delivery to primary human T cells.  Preliminary data show little toxicity. Although the two formulations only showed ~1% transfection) increased doses can be tried.

Melanie Ott and Francisco Belinchon shared information about his transfection experiment and there was not a high enough efficiency with Jurkat cells. Francisco completed Brec1 (BrecOff from Ulrike) transfection in JLATs using nucleofection.  ~0.2% transfection efficiency but no effect on HIV suppression was seen.  Repeats are being done with lentiviral vectors.  Niren mentioned Brec1 is finicky. Permanent expression may be necessary and higher levels of Brec1 are required for efficacy.

-Zoom call between Ulrike and Francisco is needed next week.  

-Western blots to verify Brec1 protein expression are needed.  

-Sorting cells may be one way to delineate the effect of BrecOff in HIV suppression in JLATs.

-Francisco is still optimizing/testing the Piggyback vector and CRISPRoff system, taken over from Martin.

 -Doxycycline inducible vectors to be sent to Francisco from Ulrike’s group (maps and construct).

RF3 Actions 6/6/22

Hello HOPEians,

In Monday’s meeting on June 6th, we heard data updates from the Chemnitz and Lange Labs. They explained the construction and functional characterization of an enzymatically dead Brec1 and the generation of different expression plasmids for brec1 and dBrec1. They also went over CD4-specific AAV2 vectors using nanobody capsid engineering. Priti gave a quick update on using CRISPR-BE (BE4) targeted to TAR to inhibit HIV; initial LTR reporter assays show reduced luciferase expression, next they will test using Ya-chi Ho’s clonal cell lines. Priti shared the paper “Efficient viral delivery of Cas9 into human safe harbor” and Nadia shared “Why drug delivery is the key to new medicines”.

RF3 Actions 4/4/22

​​Hello HOPEians,

In yesterday’s RF3 meeting, we went over past actions items with the following updates:

  1. Phil Norris shared HIV-specific CD4+ granzyme clones with Ndhlovu and Nixon labs; they are following up with the function of these clones.
  2. Chemnitz and Lange labs working on defective BREC; constructs are made and they are testing the functionality of these constructs. They will provide an update on progress at the RF3 meeting on June 6th.
  3. Murthy lab testing lipid nanoparticle delivery in PBMCs, initial tests show low transfection efficiency, they are working on new formulations and testing in mouse models. Currently focusing on mRNA delivery instead of protein delivery of BREC due to difficulties in purification. They will provide an update on progress and discuss CAR-T cell delivery at the next meeting on May 2nd.
  4. Greene lab updated on CRISPRi work. The probability of the suppression is only good while the Cas is physically obstructing the promoter.
